Defy Them

Mockery

*Third Person POV*

It was Smackdown, less than three weeks left until Money in The Bank. The arena was quite packed with waiting for the show to start, which was in five minutes. No one even knew what was in for today.

While most of the people were talking to their respective parties, others remained quiet by either looking at their surroundings or on their phones. The people who were talking were either discussing on what could possibly happen today or on other topics not related to wrestling.

The entire wrestling ring, commentator's table, ramp, and the stage were all set up, ready for use. Even the lights were set up, but they weren't on yet. It was just now waiting for everyone to come out.

A sudden tap on a microphone sounded throughout the arena, catching the audience off guard. The arena grew silent as everyone kept their full attention to the speakers around them.

"Hello WWE Universe," a disembodied male voice said. "My name is Christian Lake. It is my pleasure to introduce the WWE announcers."

Surprised gasps filled throughout the arena. Smackdown was just minutes away and the commentators were now going to come down. It meant it would have to be quick preparation before the show started.

A short man with brown hair came out to the arena from the stage, causing a chorus of mostly cheers but a few boos. The crowd knew who this was.

"Michael Cole!"

Michael Cole walked down the ramp then walked around the ring to get to the table, which had three chairs. Michael took the middle chair, some at ringside noticing that he was smiling. They weren't sure why he was, but no one dared to guess out loud in front of him.

The crowd was suddenly interrupted when music played throughout the arena. The crowd began to cheer when they saw an older man walk down the ramp.

"Jerry the King Lawler!"

Shortly after the entrance, a taller man with blonde hair walked down the ramp. He had a noticeable cowboy hat on. Everyone knew who it was.

"John Bradshaw Layfield!"

After all the commentators took their seats, a few audience members decided to check their watches to see the time.

"One minute until Smackdown time!" shouted a fan from the ramp seats.

That last minute seemed to pass by very quickly as the music for Smackdown turned on and the crowd began cheering excitedly. Judging by their volume, it seemed like an average crowd, mostly because with the exception on one thing, everyone figured the night would be rather predictable.

Shortly after the music ended, a familiar song played in the arena. The cheers were quickly replaced by excessive boos as they saw the familiar group of seven people walk down the ramp, one man everyone knew all too well at the front.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Nexus!"

The crowd were having none of it, their boos making it very clear. That still didn't stop the faction in question pass by the crowd with looks that made them seem like they were ready for a fight.

After they all got into the ring, their music turned off, but the boos continued. CM Punk, the leader, found it rather amusing as he just chuckled. A referee handed him a microphone and Punk shook it out of his hand without a thank you.

"Alright, I'll explain why I came out here," said Punk, in an attempt to quiet to boos.

The boos slowly grew silent before Punk spoke again.

"I came out here because I just want to let you guys know something and it's pretty important." Punk cleared his throat. "You're probably already wondering everything about what went on between myself and Imigie."

"What?" wondered the crowd.

"She tries to preach having these guys try to walk away from me." Punk pointed to the other members behind him, putting clear emphasis on what he meant. "You can try, Imigie, but it won't do you any good. Instead, I'll be walking out of Money in The Bank as the Unisex Champion."

The crowd booed in disapproval.

"Meanwhile, you'll be running to Cody Rhodes and Wade Barrett because you won't be—"

He was rudely interrupted when new music turned on, bringing cheers into the arena. Punk saw who it was then let out groan, audible to himself and maybe a few of the Nexus members.

The music though ended quickly as the Unisex Champion in question, who stopped in the middle of the ramp, was also holding a microphone with her right hand while holding the title with her left hand. She gave Punk a questioning look, but her lips seemed to be curled a bit. One could assume that she was fighting the urge to laugh at him, though it wasn't an unfair assumption. It seemed to her that he was all talk and no putting his words into action.

"I'm sorry?" said Imigie in a mocking tone, trying to gesture that she wanted Punk to repeat what he said. "I couldn't hear you over your Nexus-sized ego."

The audience chuckled at their fan favorite's current acts. It seemed to them that she was having a little too much fun trying to figure him out.

Punk, who notice of the tone, slowly became pissed. He got pissed to the point that he wanted to get out of the ring, run to the ramp, then attack Imigie. However, he was trying hard to fight back the urge to do so.

"You heard what I said," he said through gritted teeth.

Imigie shook her head, not amused. She gave him a careful glance for a few seconds then decided.

"I hate to break it to you but I'm gonna be dead honest with you," she replied bluntly.

She took the title with her microphone-held hand then placed it on her shoulder, the weight of it seemed quite a bit but that was the least of her worries.

With her free hand, she pulled out something from her pocket that looked like a square-like battery but it had buttons and pictures on it under each button. For the sake of this story, the author ain't gonna spoil what it is but if you have an idea on what it is, good job for you.

Anyway, Imigie looked up at Punk again straight in the eye.

"This pretty much sums up what the WWE Universe and I can hear from you."

She held the product in her hand to the microphone then pressed a button. The next sound that could be heard in the arena was obnoxious duck quacking noises. The audience burst into laughter as the quacking continued to sound around them.

The other Nexus members were somewhat confused and almost burst out laughing. Punk on the other hand was fighting the urge to throw a temper tantrum over his MITB opponent's act of mockery. This was a side of her he did not expect to come out.

"Are you kidding me?" seethed Punk.

After about thirty seconds, the quacking sounds stopped but the audience still laughed from it. This was something no one saw coming, besides Punk.

The champion put the sound-effect toy back in her pocket then gave Punk a long stare. The expression on her face though was clear that she was still trying to fight the urge to laugh. However, she did keep enough composure to continue.

"You're all talking and quacking around, but you don't seem to give a damn about backing up what you say," she said. "And when you have to back up your words in the ring, you run away. You don't like hearing that you have to prove yourself before going out there to do it. You don't even know what the hell you're up against."

The crowd cheered for Imigie, obviously still siding with her.

"I have worked my ass off in the Divas division to get to where I am and I'm not even going to stop because I'll fight to keep the title," she continued. "And besides, I didn't choose for Cody to side with me. He just happened to do so. And I sure as hell didn't make Wade turn against you. That was on his choice."

The crowd cheered again, and Punk was already beginning to feel his patience being tested. He wasn't even sure if he want to run out and start a brawl with Imigie or if he want to take his anger out on the announce table.

"Says the one who was never a Divas Champion," he spat.

The crowd booed loudly at the response.

"That's funny coming from you, considering that instead of backing up your words, you let your Chippendales do the dirty work," said Imigie innocently.

The crowd howled with laughter, a few of them were cackling. It was a harsh but hilarious statement from the bold Unisex Champion.

"However, if you don't want to learn how to fight a battle you're gonna have to bring at Money In The Bank, I'll give you a preview!" said Imigie before she threw her title and the microphone down.

She ran into the ring, faster than Punk was expecting. However, the one think Punk also didn't expect was for Imigie to suddenly tackle him to the ground then began punching him. This turned into an explosive brawl. The crowd cheered.

The other Nexus members stood there in stunned silence, wondering what to do next. It seemed to them that Imigie was more interested in teaching Punk how to fight like a man than stand like a proper lady.

After thinking, they decided it was best for them to pull away the two from tearing each other apart. Ryback, Curtis Axel, and David Otunga tried pulling back Punk while Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater tried to pull back Imigie. It was better having them do it then let the referees be forced to do the dirty work.

However, the two superstars were able to be separated and were competent enough to give each other death glares. It was better than them ripping each other apart just less than three weeks away from Money in The Bank.
